Chapter 630 The Talented 33cm Achilles Tendon
There was a tearing pain in his left ankle, and the pain disappeared immediately. Ji Xiang even felt that he should be able to walk a few steps with a limp.

Although it doesn't look heavy, Jixiang is very clear that "his" Achilles tendon is broken, and there is a problem with the force when he is shoveled by Heijiao, which leads to the rupture of the Achilles tendon.

The pain was not very painful, and it was incomparable with urinary calculi. After a moment of pain, Ji Xiang felt that he was fine, only the faint sound of "pop" remained in his mind.

Even Jixiang himself wondered if he heard it wrong.

Ji Xiang cautiously didn't stand up, but touched his left ankle.

When the Achilles tendon existed in the past, the position was hard, but now it feels soft to the touch, and the Achilles tendon, which is elastic and supports its own movement, has disappeared.

Being carried on the stretcher, the team doctor seemed to want to say something to Ji Xiang, but he still didn't say anything, and only patted Ji Xiang on the shoulder to show comfort.

When he came to the waiting room, the team doctor gave Ji Xiang a physical examination. He sighed and said, "Xiaoji, the Achilles tendon should be broken. Let's do an MRI to confirm."

After a moment of silence, the team doctor complained, "What are you talking about, what are you trying to do? Even if you lose, you don't know that AC Milan's scouts came here just to see you. You have to perform well, but you must not get injured. Before You forgot what I told you."

"Doctor Hao, I'm here for the competition." Ji Xiang said seriously.

The corner of the team doctor's mouth raised, and he was about to say something, but he suppressed it by himself.

"Oh, the great future is gone all of a sudden." The team doctor shook his head.

Ji Xiang didn't communicate with the team doctor either. He recalled what happened on the court, felt the feeling of a ruptured Achilles tendon, and waited silently for an MRI.

Not surprisingly, an MRI confirmed a ruptured Achilles tendon.

With the passage of time, Jixiang's left ankle can be seen with obvious edema.In Jixiang's opinion, the edema is not serious, and the pain is not severe. It seems to be a very "friendly" trauma.

At least compared with a clavicle fracture, an Achilles tendon rupture is more than a little "friendly".

But what is gratifying is that the team doctor found Ji Xiang a friend, which is the only thing the team doctor can help Ji Xiang.

When Professor Zhou appeared, Ji Xiang knew that he seemed to be saved, and with the lessons learned from Zhao Dali, Ji Xiang thought he should be fine.

The practice of Achilles tendon surgery is similar to that of ligament surgery. Jixiang was finally relieved when he saw that he was pushed into the hybrid operating room.

What I met was the "mature" Professor Zhou.

"I was kicked by my own people, this time they kicked very hard."

Ji Xiang heard Professor Zhou commenting on his injury in a playful tone, and then fell asleep as soon as his mind became confused.

When he woke up, the operation had been completed. Professor Zhou stood in front of him, his eyes narrowed, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Ji Xiang."

"It's a good name." Professor Zhou smiled. "The operation was a success. Your Achilles tendon is very long. You are really talented. Use it well in the future, and be careful of those bad guys who are jealous of you."

"My Achilles tendon is very long?" Ji Xiang was taken aback.

He had just woken up from general anesthesia, and he did not have a deep understanding of orthopedics and sports, so it took time to search for relevant data from memory.

"The average person's Achilles tendon is about 15cm long. I estimate that your Achilles tendon is about 33cm long during surgery, which is already the top talent." Professor Zhou said with narrowed eyes.

"Bolt's Achilles tendon is said to be 42cm long." Ji Xiang said.

"Ambition is great. Bolt is engaged in sprinting. You are a football player. At 33cm, you are already the football player with the longest Achilles tendon I have ever seen." Professor Zhou said, "I repeat, the operation was very successful and the postoperative recovery Training is up to you. Call me anytime if you need it."

After speaking, Professor Zhou turned and left.

When he returned to the ward, Ji Xiang had an indwelling needle in his left hand for infusion, an oximeter connected to his right hand, an electrode film for ECG monitoring on his body, an oxygen chamber in his nose, and a plaster cast on his leg.

Soon, the pain from the operation came and Jixiang felt very uncomfortable because he couldn't move.

Fortunately, this is not the first time he has been exposed to surgery. Ji Xiang can bear it. He has been shifting his focus and focusing on the 33cm and exceptionally talented Achilles tendon length that Professor Zhou said.

Su Bingtian's Achilles tendon is about 27cm.

The length of the Achilles tendon reflects a person's strong jumping ability, and this ability can give people a great advantage when sprinting.

The Achilles tendons of top football players are generally around 30cm. After all, there is still a difference between football and basketball.

Guys like Bolt with Achilles tendons all over their calves are already monsters.

Jordan's Achilles tendon is only less than 29cm, and Ji Xiang is satisfied with "his" data.

The strength of the anesthetic gradually passed, but Ji Xiang didn't resist the pain.It is necessary to make yourself comfortable. Jixiang has no tendency to shake M.

However, although oral analgesics and subcutaneous injections of morphine hydrochloride were painful, Jixiang did not sleep well all night.

The most difficult day passed, the pain eased, and Jixiang felt occasional twitches in his left ankle, which was wrapped in plaster.

Jixiang can do this question. The twitching sensation is caused by nerve reflex, and it is also a normal reaction after surgery.

The doctor came to change Jixiang's dressing, and he saw his surgical incision.

Professor Zhou did not use a small incision to solve the problem in a showy manner, but directly cut a 25cm large incision.

Moreover, Professor Zhou did not use cosmetic sutures, but chose the simplest "centipede" suture method.

He really is a guy who can be lazy when he has to, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

On the third day after the operation, the pain was further reduced. Jixiang couldn't sit still and simply did a few sets of kneeling push-ups on the bed, abdominal crunches and bird curling with a water bottle.

The doctor informed Ji Xiang that he could be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and told Ji Xiang in detail about the postoperative recovery process.

For example, the medicine needs to be changed every 3 or 4 days, and then 3 weeks after the operation, a re-examination, removal of plaster, stitches, and replacement of the Achilles tendon boot.

In the second week after the operation, Jixiang found that the injury caused by the "friendly" Achilles tendon rupture continued.

Looking at the visible difference in thickness between the left and right legs, he sighed inwardly.

In the past, the muscle on my left thigh was as hard as a rock, but now it is visibly softer and thinner...

Emmm, I can't think about it anymore, the first department of Jixiang Guipei is in the Department of Urology, and some things are deeply ingrained in my mind.

Looking at the two legs with different thicknesses, Ji Xiang knew that he would face great difficulties in the future.

After making a phone call to Professor Zhou, Ji Xiang asked when he could do rehabilitation training.Professor Zhou felt unbelievable when Ji Xiang hadn't done four-way leg lifts and other activities. He didn't scold anyone, but patiently explained to Ji Xiang the rehabilitation of the new technique.

As for the incomprehension of the local doctors, Professor Zhou just covered it up vaguely.
